Snip:
BRICS nations called for ending economic, commercial and financial measures against Cuba in the New Delhi Declaration adopted at the group’s summit in India.
“We reiterate the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial measures against Cuba in accordance with UNGA Resolution,” the document said.
BRICS leaders expressed “deep concern on the situation relating to Cuba due to the tightening of unilateral blockade measures against the country, their adverse effects on the Cuban economy, energy supplies and the worrying humanitarian impact on the Cuban people.”
Then sail your ships to Cuba. Talk is meaningless. Escort your ships to Cuba and do something
The combined largest population and economic groups on earth starting the process is a good sign
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again; the American world-domination doctrine is just the Matt Crispman :fuck-off-youll-do-nothing: tweet forever, their enemies believe in america’s ‘‘world laws’’, believe in america’s banknotes, america’s institutions. they believe that to oppose them all would be to rock the boat. none of them want to rock the boat too much.
So BRICS will keep losing until they decide that they want to win. Which i sometimes doubt. Even then i don’t see America going away, even if they keep losing (hormuz) or keep getting humiliated (hormuz) they’ll stick around like some ghastly apparition of the old world that, for some reason, still gets to influence and decide things, sort of like how a fuck ton of medical textbooks in the world are still in french only
The UK once ruled a globe-spanning empire that used finance as much as cannons to dominate. That empire is gone but consider how, relative to its size, the UK still punches well above its weight in terms of global power and influence.
giving myself a
for unbriddled doomerism, but still, i hope someone takes away something useful from thisThe US is obviously not capable of sustaining itself and navigating the contradictions it continues to create. Even domestically there is some substantial movement (not enough, but it’s noticeable) .
Fascism actually sucks if you arent a true believing race scientist or religious nut, and 70% of the population just isn’t into all that. Even if you’re on board, it’s actually tough to be in power, particularly when you have no real understanding of why things happen. This doesn’t mean that Trump’s fascism will be defeated, nor that a social Democratic US will somehow be anti-imperialist, but it’s not really viable to continue the empire while hoarding all the wealth and power. I think a reconfiguration will be necessary in the next couple of decades which will interrupt the empire’s ability to project itself.
Socialism will be built by our comrades in the global south, economically anchored by the PRC. It will eventually be forced on the withering united state, although that might be a century out. This doesn’t mean we :sit-back-and-watch: by any means. We must identify and expose the contradictions to accelerate the retreat of the empire.
Anyway there are two wolves inside us, just wanted to feed the other one too cancel out some of the doomerism.
UNGA Resolution
BRICS is obviously not an anti-imperialist organization and this is done for PR to let some pressure off their populations, but I do wonder what do people want.
Like I get the critiques and why they’re coming, at the same time Ultra-Leftism doesn’t have a basis to be capable of reproducing itself, even if it’s capable of defeating a fascist threat. What you get is a state that burns out. There is also no way to get popular support base for such a movement either.
